Cultures crossing continents. In Nikkei, director Kaori Flores Yonekura tells the story of her grandparents\u2019 intrepid journey from Japan to Peru to Venezuela. Along the way, their personal search for a new home is set against the larger backdrop of the history of Japanese immigration to Latin America: from servitude in Peru, to the anti-Japanese media campaigns in World War II, to propaganda and promises of a better life in Venezuela. Nikkei is a fascinating and artfully constructed documentary that uses photographs, animation and personal testimony to reconstruct a subject of Latin American history that is rarely presented in cinema.<\/p>\n<p>For tickets and information visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/vaea-movie-nights-with-veffny-screening-of-nikkei-2011-by-kaori-flores-yonekura-tickets-17658710679?aff=es2\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, August 04 6:30PM to 8:30PM WeWork Soho West 67 Charlton St, 2nd Fl.
